Description

n-Pentane-D12 is a deuterated isotopologue of n-pentane, where all twelve hydrogen atoms are replaced by the stable isotope deuterium. This high level of deuteration makes it an essential internal standard and solvent for advanced analytical techniques, particularly Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It is primarily used by researchers and quality control laboratories in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and academic sectors where precise molecular analysis and solvent background suppression are critical.

Application

• Internal standard for quantitative analysis in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS).
• Deuterated solvent for NMR spectroscopy, providing a non-protonated signal background.
• Chemical synthesis involving deuterium-labeled compounds and reaction mechanism studies.
• Use in the calibration and testing of analytical instruments.
• Research applications in organic chemistry, material science, and metabolic studies.
• Potential use as a tracer in specialized industrial and environmental research processes.

Quality Control

Our n-Pentane-D12 is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure isotopic purity and chemical integrity. Each batch is analyzed to confirm deuteration level and the absence of protonated impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity (e.g., D atom %), chemical purity, and other critical parameters is provided to guarantee consistency for your sensitive applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize evaporation and maintain stability.
